Title: Google Services Wallet Verification Scam
Post by: jytou on December 24, 2013, 11:42:41 AM
Hi all,

!BEWARE!

just received a message from "bitcoin@googleservices.com" in a nice Google-brand way that reads:

And when clicking on the links, it redirects to this:

An obvious scam as you simply give away your wallet AND its password so basically you say: "go ahead and spend my bitcoins!".
